Clean and Good

They have small lockers for you to lock up your bags. It’s sufficient for a small backpack. The kitchen has free hot chocolate, coffee and tea, and is very clean and well-kept. I slept in the 8-bed room. The beds are very nice and separated by a partition so you have some privacy. Each bed has some space beside it for you to put your things and has two power sockets. I fully enjoyed my stay here and will come again.

Quality

Absolute quality weekend. They call it a Hostel but to be fair that’s doing it down in my opinion. The accommodation is excellent, kitchen was more than ample to service 8 lads for a decent meal.

Every single member of staff we met was helpful, knowledgeable about the local area, and always willing to help. The restaurant underneath (Kennedy’s) was brilliant for both evening meals and breakfast, and the 20% off was a nice touch.

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole weekend and would not hesitate to come back. Well done guys, top marks!
